The Snow Queen | Hans Christian Andersen

Grateful for audiobooks and colouring on migrainey days! #readthepainaway

KCorter That sounds so relaxing! I am battling a migraine right now too. I am going to borrow this remedy. 🤕 7y

Vexingcircumstance Eek I can't handle looking at tiny coloring areas or listening to anything when I have a bad headache. Even holding my head up to long will cause nausea and can result in throwing up. :/ 7y

LiteraryinLawrence Hope it eases up soon! 7y

Through the Woods | Emily Carroll

In bed with a migraine this morning. Ugh. I'm trying some graphic novels on low low light on my iPad. I've been wanting to read this one for awhile! #readthepainaway

Megabooks Take care! I'm sorry. 7y

LindsayReads Oh no! Feel better! Migraines are the worst, especially when you just want to read! 7y

TheLondonBookworm Hope you feel better soon! That cover is so gorgeous as well I'm sure it'll help :) 7y

moranadatter I hope you feel better soon. 7y

DeeLew It seems like many of us Littens suffer from migraines. I hope you feel better soon. 💓 7y

Hobbinol I feel for ya! Feel better! 7y

Lizpixie I feel your pain. We even have our own hashtag #litsymigraineclub 7y

Cinfhen Feel better, migraines are awful🙁 7y

scripturient Hope you feel better. I was down with a migraine last night and half of today. And I was reading the same book. Hope there is no connection there (thinking of the snake face). 😂😂😂 @Lizpixie Oh no, you too? I didn't know about the hashtag. Thanks. 😊 7y

Hidden Figures: The Story of the African-American Women Who Helped Win the Space Race | Margot Lee Shetterly

Double dose of #Litsomnia and #LitsyMigraineBookClub. Migraines are at their worst when you can't even sleep them off. 😒💆🏻

Since I can't beat it I may as well join it, so I'm starting my first pick for #NonfictionNovember. Robin Miles narrates the audio & she always does a stellar job. One of my favorite narrators! The prologue of this audiobook is really compelling—Shetterly links the lives of these women to her own. 🙋🏾🚀

Cinfhen Feel better! As a member of the #LitsyMigrainBookClub I know that feeling 🤕🔨 enjoy your book, it sounds fascinating 7y

BookishFeminist @Cinfhen Thank you, friend. 💜 I've had the worst migraines lately. Hoping they go away soon - I've barely been able to function. The audiobook is great though, so I can try to enjoy laying in the dark with my tea. 💆🏻 7y

Maike Feel better soon! 😕 I've had a migraines-filled time last week so I know what you are going through. Hope the audiobook helps! 7y

BookishFeminist @Maike Thank you. 💜 Migraines do seem to hit in spurts, don't they? I think for me it's been the fluctuating weather. It can't make up its mind whether it wants to be summer or late autumn! The audiobook definitely helps though, being awake, in pain, and bored is the worst. 7y

Suet624 Wide awake at 3:00 am. So frustrating. 7y

Maike Oh yes, weather is definitely one of my triggers. Fortunately there are books to keep the boredom away ☺️ 7y

BookishFeminist @Suet624 Right?! Very frustrating. I don't know about you but I was even good tonight and in bed by 10pm! At least we're in it together. 😴 7y

BookishFeminist @Maike Books solve everything! 📚💕 7y

Suet624 @BookishFeminist, yup, I was in bed at 10 too! Babysitting a 3-year old starting at 7:30 am is going to be rough. 7y

BookishFeminist @Suet624 😳 I do not envy you. Thankfully I can sleep in it I need to- I have a lot of stuff to do but no time commitments before the evening. Fingers crossed you can get some sleep soon!! 7y

Suet624 @BookishFeminist thanks. And I hope your head feels better really soon. 7y

BookishFeminist @Suet624 Thank you. 💜 Here's to hoping we'll both have a better day tomorrow! 7y

Godmotherx5 Pain stinks. Hoping everyone feels better. 7y

Zelma @Suet624 oh yuck. I really hope you fall asleep soon. Best of luck and a bottomless cup of coffee tomorrow! 7y

BookishFeminist @Godmotherx5 Doesn't it? And I hope you can get back to sleep so you don't have to stay in the #Litsomnia ranks too long! 7y

Godmotherx5 @BookishFeminist No migraine but rheumatoid pain is keeping me up. The alarm will go off in 2hrs. Hope I can "nap" soon. 7y

BookishFeminist @Godmotherx5 Ugh! Chronic pain. I hope you can get a nap in too & that you can have plenty of coffee tomorrow. 7y

stacybmartin Hoping you feel better soon! 💙 7y

Bibliogeekery Boo to the migraine! I'm bad this week too. Ugh. Sending healing solidarity #readthepainaway 7y

Suetara Hope you feel better soon! Migraines are the worst. 7y

Nebklvr Get better soon! 7y

WOCreads Oh No migraines, hope you feel better soon!! Had one last night but it kindly went away thanks to icepacks. So glad to hear the audio is excellent since I'll be listening to this one as well😊 7y

BookmarkTavern I just bought this audiobook! I'm really looking forward to it. Hope the migraine feels better soon! 7y

Graciouswarriorprincess Feel better! I had one yesterday too!😩 7y

BookishFeminist @stacybmartin @Bibliogeekery @Suetara @Nebklvr @Ifyoucanreadthis_Bina @krysannethemums @Graciouswarriorprincess Thank you all for the kind, healing messages. They made my day to wake up to them this morning. 💜 My migraine is finally gone after some sleep and two naps today. 😂 healing vibes to those who also have to deal with them & hope we can stay healthy together! 💕💕 7y

moranadatter I hope you feel better today! 7y

Godmotherx5 I had plenty of caffeine today. Here's hoping tonight is better! 7y

Horribly_Marvelous I am so ashamed that I did not know of this story until I saw the commercial for the movie. 7y

Horribly_Marvelous I am so happy to know you are feeling better. 😄 7y

American Heiress: The Wild Saga of the Kidnapping, Crimes and Trial of Patty Hearst | Jeffrey Toobin

Today I'm bouncing around among a few books. Truthfully, I'd rather be working but I'm back in the #litsymigrainebookclub. My neurologist said after three weeks of migraine I should take a few days off to rest, hydrate and minimize stress. Medicines haven't worked enough to keep me going. So I'm reading about a kidnapping! Not stressful, right? #readthepainaway

BookishFeminist Oh no! Migraine, migraine, go away! 7y

DGRachel Ugh! I hope you feel better really soon! 😢 7y

PurpleyPumpkin Aww sorry to hear that your under the weather. 😕 Feel better soon! 7y

MicheleinPhilly That's not a like for the migraine, obviously. That's a like for the book which I thought was absolutely fascinating! 7y

Dolly 🤕 7y

moranadatter I hope it goes away soon. Forever. 7y

BarbaraTheBibliophage Thanks dear Littens. 😘😘 @BookishFeminist @DGRachel @PurpleyPumpkin @Dolly @kmdartist 7y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @MicheleinPhilly Haha. I've thought the same thing as I like similar posts! Yes, the book is quite interesting! 7y

stacybmartin Hoping you feel better soon! 📚💙📚 7y

Donna_sBookMinute From the beginning, something was not right about this case. I hope you feel better soon. 7y

Trav Migraines are the worst. Feeling your pain. I was getting them on a daily basis and found it was my neck causing all the grief. I hope you can find some relief soon ♥️ 7y

ApoptyGina69 Really looking forward to this one. Almost bought it this week, but didn't make my six-limit cut yet. I've only had a couple migraines in my life. Can't imagine chronic ones. ❤️📚 7y

CherylDeFranceschi So sorry! Hope you get some relief soon. 7y

AmandaL Feel better. 7y

BibliOphelia Ugh. Just got pasta two-week one. Feel better!! 7y

BarbaraTheBibliophage Thank you sweet Littens! I am venturing into an untried, natural treatment today. Desperate, but glad to be in the couch reading too. 😘😘😘 @stacybmartin @Donna_sBookMinute @Trav @ApoptyGina69 @CherylDeFranceschi @AmandaL @BibliOphelia 7y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @trav I'm so glad you found an answer! I just found out that an ear-related condition I have in both ears is most likely the main migraine trigger for me. 85% of people with the ear thing have severe migraine. At least I know why ... 7y

Trav @BarbaraTheBibliophage Oh really? I've never heard of that before so that's really interesting! Is there anything you can do about it? 7y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @trav Mostly just try my best to manage them both. 7y

Trav @BarbaraTheBibliophage Well I hope it helps so you can start getting some relief soon. Virtual hugs to you! 7y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @trav Thanks so much! I'm doing everything I can - even considering retiring and going on disability. 7y

Suet624 Fluorescent lights were the cause for my dad and I. I hope you feel better soon. 7y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Suet624 Thanks! I've heard about that trigger for people. I'm around remarkably few fluorescents and it seems that massive amounts of sleep is really helping. Go figure! (edited) 7y

Migraine | Oliver Sacks

A few of us have noticed that Litsy has a lot of migraneurs (migraine sufferers) among its members. I brainstormed a few hashtags for us to use. What others have I missed? Tagging a few folks I remember having migraines recently.

p.s. May we never have to use these hashtags!

#migraineandabook #migrainenoreading #migraineandaudiobook #horriblemigraine

BookishFeminist, DGRachel, Bibliogeekery

Bibliogeekery Those are good ones! ☺️ 🤕😥 #readthepainaway 8y

bmsddk Absolutely love these hashtags, thanks for sharing them!! Great way to not feel so alone. #migrainereads maybe? There are some genres/types of books I gravitate to when my head gets really bad. 8y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Bibliogeekery @bmsddk I love them both! 8y

BookishFeminist I love these ❤️ migraines are awful but Litsy helps. I've been using the Migraine Buddy app you recommended and love it! 8y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @BookishFeminist I'm glad Migraine Buddy is helping. Wish we all could stay migraine free!! 8y

KCorter I'm liking #readthepainaway, @bibliogeekery. :) 8y

Texreader I feel for you all! I get migraines as a side effect if I miss one dose of a medicine I take. Argh! It sends me into a dark spiral of pain so I cannot function at all. I am so grateful I can "control" mine. Special thoughts your way. 8y

Texreader And a neighbor is throwing a loud party tonight so I'm on the verge of a headache. 😡 8y

erzascarletbookgasm I like those hastags. You can add me in the list 🤕🙁 8y

Suzze I can't imagine. I feel for you all. 😟😟 8y

bmsddk @Texreader Oh no, wishing you the best with the noise 😕 8y

Lizpixie Me too. I hope I never have to use one again either🤕 8y

Handmade_Redhead Going to have to look up migraine buddy. My daughter gets severe migraines. Mine rarely last more than a day and i can usually sleep them off. 8y

LauraJ My migraines seem to be hormonally induced. Fortunately, I'm able to read, but sound makes me want to jump out of my skin. I like #readthepainaway too, but could totally see wanting a more specific hashtag. 8y

Maike You can add me too 😔 reading helps most of the time, but sometimes it's so bad I can't even do that. #readthepainaway is a good one! 8y

Texreader @bmsddk Thank you. It's midnight here now and the last of the revelers seem to be going home. But here I am wide awake now. Thank heavens for Litsy. 8y

Godmotherx5 I had one last night. I couldn't even read. Sleep helped but "hung over" this morning. 8y

Bibliogeekery Today is another really rough migraine day for me 😫 8y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Bibliogeekery I'm so sorry. You're not alone. I can't take more medicine this week and I'm own with this migraine too. 😢 8y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Handmade_Redhead I hope it can help you. I learned a lot about my patterns and triggers. Now I mostly use it to be sure I don't overuse medicine. 8y

Bibliogeekery Sorry to hear that you are still suffering too! 💓💓💓 8y

moranadatter This is timely. I had one yesterday. 8y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Godmotherx5 @Texreader @Bibliogeekery @kmdartist @Maike @LauraJ @Handmade_Redhead @Lizpixie @erzascarletbookgasm @KCorter @BookishFeminist @bmsddk Knowing we aren't alone helps. #LitsyMigraineBookClub - the club no one wants to join! 😘😘 8y

Godmotherx5 Great name: LitsyMigraineBookClub 8y

bmsddk 💚💜💚 8y

Donna_sBookMinute Nothing like making the most of a bad situation. Not a member but sorry to know so many suffer. 😦 8y

Gezemice I have headaches, fatigue and brainfog related to food sensitivities and autoimmune disorders - I am often confined to resting in bed. I work only part time because of it. I found that diet and exercise helps... not exactly migraines but similar enough - you can add me, too... 7y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Gezemice Sounds a lot like my experience. I have a few diagnoses and did that diet and exercise make a huge difference. Foods can be positive or negative, that's for sure. May you rest and read well, my friend! 7y

Gezemice @BarbaraTheBibliophage Thank you! I saw your posts and it does seem rather smililar - I hope you find relief and can read well, too! 😀 7y
